Support knows how to rebuild the OS from scratch w/o touching the data volume, but I don't.

You can use:
du -xhd1 /
and then work your way to find the file using up space, it's likely a log file or database file related to some app that's installed.
Full root is not cause for alarm in terms of data loss, it's a separate volume and if you can't figure out what it is I would recommend contacting support

Paid support is certainly a good option for this. Although there is little risk of data loss, if you don't address it promptly the NAS can become unresponsive (either the web ui, or file explorer access, or both).
It might not be a log - what apps do you have installed?
Apps installed: linux - dash, LogAnaylser, Recoll
If i un-install these will it delete the data log as well, what directory do i find them in.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "data log". The apps are supposed to be installed in /apps. That's a mount point for /data/.apps, so they are supposed to use storage in the data volume. But some apps aren't correctly written, and use a lot of space in the OS volume.
LogAnalyzer is one of the ones that uses OS volume space, so you should start by uninstalling that one.
I've seen several folks post issues with linux-dash not working, but I haven't seen a root cause for that posted here - and I don't know if it is using OS space or not.
Recoll is really no longer needed, since indexing/search was added to the web ui in OS 6.8.
